It has no shutter lag at all, can take 7 photos per second in burst mode, up to 100 frames. The camera's true strength is shooting in low light situations - even using high ISO settings like 3200 the noise is almost not visible. You can use it in daylight also to achieve very fast shutter speeds like 1/8000, I was able to freeze a helicopter rotor using this method.It also has a CMOS sensor cleaning feature, I tried it and it works well. The battery life is quite good and the controls are easy to use. The camera is amazingly well built as you expect from Nikon, I shot with it thousands of photos already and I have no complaints at all. The live view is still isn't like on the compacts, but hey, this is a DSLR.Pros: low noise at high ISO settings, battery life, controlsCons: live view This camera is great!

The shadows and highlight correction is an excellent feature, the difference is clearly visible if you try with and without it. The ISO sensitivity is better than on previous models what makes it more usable in low light conditions.Another great thing is the customizable menu system, you can set what features you want to access quickly. The 12MP CMOS sensor is more than enough to make larger prints also, the pictures are incredible detailed. This is not an entry level DSLR, so it requires some experience to get the most out of it, but who is familiar with photography will easily make amazing photos with it.The LCD screen is excellent, the look and feel of the camera is outstanding. If you want a great camera, go for this one.Pros: Colors, shadows and highlight correctionCons: hmm, it's price Excellent camera.
